IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS
"THE VIRGINIAN," A GENUINE HISTORICAL AMERICAN
STORY BY OWEN WISTER BOOK NOTES r ir c r sr jc
STBIIONG novel of the West
and of jthe cattle-raising days
that, like the buffalo, are no
more, is Chven Wlstar's "The Virgin
ian." It is an interesting story, but
it Is much more than that, for it is in the
best sense a historical story and sets down
with verity and vividness the conditions of
cne phase of American life which has
rassed forever. In his introduction Mr.
Wlster, in a vein of -sincere regret, writes:
What Is become of the horseman, the cow
puncher, the last romantic figure upon our soil?
For he "was romantic Whatever he did he did
wl'h his might. The bread that he earned was
earned hard half a year's pay sometimes gone
In a night "blown In," as be expressed it, or
"b.owed In," to be perfectly accurate. Well,
be it 111 be here among uc always. Invisible,
waiting his chance to live and play aa he
would like. His wild kind has been am oner us
always since the beginning a young man with
bis temptations, a hero without wings.
And Mr. Wlster himself claims that his
narrative is historical. Any narrative
which presents faithfully a day and a
generation Is of necessity historical: and
this one presents "Wyoming between 1874
and 1S90. The "Virginian who is the hero
of this story is a typical cowboy of the
best sort. Enough books about cowboy
life have been written for those even who
have never seen the great "West to under
stand that all cowboys hard-drinking,
hrd-swearlng, Btraight-ehooting men as
some of them might be were not rufllans,
bloodthirsty, wanton in cruelty. Among
them, we have learned, there were some
who might truly be called nature's gentle
men, unlettered, perhaps, but wise in the
lore of the ranch and with a wonderfully
accurate and honest knowledge of their
fcllow-mcn. Of this best sort of cowboy is
the Virginian. The first view of him the
reader gets is of "a slim young giant,
-more beautiful than pictures. His broad,
soft hat was pushed back; a loose-knotted,
dull-scarlet handkerchief sagged, from his
throat, and one casual thumb was hooked
in the cartridge belt that slanted across
his hips."
The story is told by a. "tenderfoot,"
who has come from the East .to visit
Judge Henry on his ranch, the ranch on
which the Virginian is employed. "With
accurate ision and much understanding
the narrator notes the difference between
life in the East and. "West, and incidentally
throws a searchlight on the character of
to Virginian. When one of his cowboy
friends comes to him and greets him with
an oath an oath that usually means fight
all the world over, the Virginian takes It
as a compliment, and answors in kind,
much to the amazement of the stranger.
But a Iqvr hours later when a party of
cowboys are playing cards, and a strange
cowboy In his heat applies the same epl--thet
to the Virginian, he is at once con
fronted with a gun:
And with a voice as gentle as ever, the voice
tint sounded almost like a caress, but drawl
ing a rry little more than usual, so that
there was almost a rpace between each word,
ho Issued his orders to the man Trampas:
"When you call me that. nlle." And he
l:ced a Trampas across the table.
Yes, the voice was gentle. But In my cars
It ecunded as if somewhere the bell of death
was ringing; and silence like a stroke fell
en the large room.
But Trampas "smiled," and the difficulty
passed off. The story tells how the Vlr
g'nlan rises to be foreman of Judge Hen
rj's ranch; how he rescues the little
shoolmarm that comes from Vermont to
teah the Wyoming children, and how ho
falls In love with hor; hoy ho takes a
train of cattle to Chicago, and how he
has to show himself all a man before he
can get his unruly cowpunchers back, safe
ly to his ranch. It tells, too, of his court
ing, of how he lays out a ranchman who J
is unkindly to his beasts, and of the dread
ful part ho has to take In a lynching bee,
Rhen two qattlo thieves, one of them an
o;i chum, aro hanged in the gray of an
early morning.
And toward the end there Is a grim and
fateful tragedy. The schoolmarm h,as
been won: it is the Virginian's wedding
day. and he has ridden to town to meet
the good bishop who is to perform the
Quiet ceremony. And here in the town is
Trampas. drinking and threatening; vow
ing to kill the Virginian on sight. They
meet in a saloon and the rowdy hurls
studied Insults at the Virginian, which
that worthy takes, to the astonishment of
hjs friends. Then the Virginian is found
by the bishop, who, from the depths of
his theology cannot help the Virginian
out of the quandary, but gives him a "God
bless you!" when ho tightens h.ls grip on
his weapon and goes out. And there is the
breaking of the news to the hrlde-tQrhe,
who begs him. not to go out and be killed,
and when that fails tells him he will be
a murderer If he does not fall. Finally
she tells him that If he goes out to met
Trampas it moans the end of everything
between them, and the Vjrglnlan, -albeit
he loves her better than his life, cannot
sell his honor so. and so goes out Into the
street with weapon ready and lips coni
pressed.
Standing grimly against the wall of the
hotel and looking tensely at tho moun
tains where his honeymoon was to -have
been spent:
"It's quite a while aftor sunset," he heard
r'mself say. A wind seemed to blow the sleeve
eff his arm, and he replied to It. and saw
Trampas pitch forward. He saw Trampas raise
1 Is arm .from the ground and fall again, and
He there this time, still. A little smoke was
rising from the pistol on the ground, and he
1 3r Iced at his own and saw the pmqk'e flawing
toward out of It. 'I expect that's ajl," he
call aloud.
And then, his ancient enemy being dead,
he has to go back to the note and to the
girl.
She had heard his sten and was upon her feeC
Her lips were parted and her eyes fixed on him,
nor did she move or speak.
"You have to know it," said he. 1 have
killed Trampas."
"Oh. thank God," eho said, and he found
her In his arms.
Virile, vivid, with the fierce sun of Wy-r
oming.and the fierce passions of primitive
men beating through its pages, this story
is good to read. It is history of the finest
sort. The book is dedicated to Theodore
Roosevelt in the following words.: "Some
of these pages you have seen, ome you
hate praised, one stands newly written
because you blamed it; and all, my dear
critic, beg leave to remind vyau of tholr
author's changoless admiration." Thq
story is Illustrated by Arthur I. Keller,

Stephen Ilolton.
Charles Felton Pidgin, author of ''Qnin
cy Adams Sawyer." and "Blennerhassett,"
hzs written a third novel, "Stephen Hol
ton," a story of life as It is in town and
ccurtry. In some ways It is his strongest
wcrk. He has returned to the field of his
first success the annals pf modern life in
ma-' of Its myriad phases. The story has
to do with the love of a young clergyman
whoso Intense personality cannot but re
call the clerical prototypes of John Storm
and Robert Elsmerc for a charrajng
yourg country girl. This romance runs
through the novel's varying scenes, of
which a mission meeting In the slums,
an opening night in a burlesque, and a
day with a detective are some of the most
vivid. Tho pastoral brcezlness of the
Maine woods, tho whirling rush of the

Story of England'. Rational Anthem.
The national anthem of England is un
dergoing revision, in order to make it ac
cord with the new monarchy. As at pres
ent sung it reads, "God save our gracious
P3ng." This, apparently, is not Imperial
istic enough for the present court. The
word "gracious" Is held to be more ap-J
pllcable to a Queen than to a King. So
for the coronation the refrain was changed
to "God save our lord the King,' which
was used in the earliest extant copies
of tho anthem, dated 1743. Great pains
have been taken to ascertain the origin
i-of the words and of th.e music "William

John Kendrlck Bangs, he of the "house
boat" fame, has' quit the field of humor
temporarily to turn historian. Mr. Bangs
was sent to Cuba to -write & aeries" of let
ters for Harper's "Weekly, and he has, e
a result, made a book outlining the whole
story of Cuba's career. He begins with
Columbus and ends with General "Wood.
In the first part of the book Is given an
account of tho discovery and early settle
ment of the island. The second part, the
most Important part of the book, tells
how the trust of the United States over
Cuba has been administered. He de
scribes the condition of the island at tho
close of the war, and then, taking up the
various departments of the government,
he shows what changes have been brought
about Mr. Bangs has been too long a
humorist to make a good historian, and
his book is sketchy and disconnected, and
tho effect of seriousness Is strained. At
times, too, Mr. Bangs gets oratorical.
Mr. Bangs tells in detail the story of
the Cuban postofflce frauds, and his
saving grace of humor leads him to point
out the curious coincidence that in
Franklin Matthew's new book. "The New
Born Cuba," one of the illustrations pur
ported to be, "The Present Poatofflce
Building." As a matter of fact, the
illustration was not the postofflce, but
the penitentiary, Mr. Bangs remarks:
"A more prophetic forecast of the natural
abiding place of the then administrators
of Cuba's -posts could not have been de
vised." (New York: The Biggs Publish

Life of Dnrnax the Elder.
The publishers whose-buslness it Is to
observe the changes in literary fancy
among the reading public have detected
lately symptoms of revolt against the pur

especially colonial, novels have had their
vogue, but only those books that t h rill
A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
COATS OF ARM'S AND TRADITIONS THAT CLUSTER
AROUND WELL-ItNOVN FAMILIES T f
THE present corner In ancestors, due
to the desire to establish the right
to bear a crest or to Join a natriatlc
society, is bearing a large crop pf heir-I
oooss. Not silver pr Jewels, but tradi
tions and romances which are almost
as precious possessions. To indulge in
this fad requires a large bank account,
for It takes doners by the hundreds to
dig and delve for grandfathers and, grand
mothers many times removed.
One has the warrant of Holy Scripture
for taking Up this work, for it was a,
divine command enjoined upon the an
cient Israelites to preserve their pedi
grees and to hold In sacred veneration
the memory orthelr forefathers. Among
the Romans and Greeks it was considered
ennobling and inspiring to be able to boast
a pedigree back to the founders Qf em
pires. Today Jt Is regarded as a badge
of renown if one can prove a lineage

back to the days of William the Con
queror, Alfred the Great, or some mighty
monarch.
In covers of Imperial purpe and with
letter-press of a similar hue bopk has
recently been published which proves, by
genealogical tables, that there are at this
moment living in America no less than
100 persons through whose veins courses
the blood of Alfred the Qrcat and pther
sovereigns.
Where th,e Scot? Came From,
To trace one's ancestry back to the
time of Moses Is not given to every fam
ily. More than ordinarily full of Interest,
therefore, is the tradition regarding the
family of Scott. One historian asserts
that the name originated from Scota,
daughter of that Pharaoh, King pf .Egypt,
who was drowned in the Red Spa. Gathe
lus, son of the first King of Athens, was
so. troublesome that hjs family sent him
tp Egypt, where he married Scota. To
escape frpm the plagues of which we read"
In the Bible. Gathelus and Scota, wlth'n
large number of Greeks and Egyptians,
put to sei, and finally landed In what is
now Scqtjand, thus named In honor A)f
Pharaoh's daughter.
In this country the name Is common in
the Southwest and Nohwest Richard
Scott Is regarded in genealogical parlance
as the "emigrant ancestor," or the 'set
tler," "the pilgrim," qj "Richard of tha
first generation," He and three brothers
who cams over in the 17th century set-
with startling' Incidents and personal ex
ploits are very popular now. The ten
dency, if the signs are to, be trusted, is
to novels of adventure, Intrigue and mys
tery, along the lines of Scott, Dumas and
Cooper. And most appropriately in this
very year falls the centenary of the birth
of Alexandre Pumas the elder, and with It
comes the publication of the first really
trustworthy account of hla life, character
and works. Until now there has been no
adequate life of Dumas, no impartial and
complete "biography, even in French. This
new work Is by Henry A. Spurr, and will
be published in October. A change has
taken place during tho last 30 years in
the literary estimate of Dumas, but no
biographer could desire a more romantic
subject, and the book is said, to bo as In
teresting as a novel, full of witty anec
dotes and amusing adventures.
Concerning Book and Anthors.
Mrs. Burnett has- entirely recovered
from her recent indisposition, which was
so grossly exaggerated in the sensational
newspapers. It U probable that she will
make New York her residence for the
next two or three years, and sho has re
sumed work upon her new play and m
"The Destiny of Bettina."
E. "W. Hornung, the author of "The
Amateur Cracksman," has Just -completed
a novel which he has been at work on for
many years. In length, plot and finish
the work is mora important than any
thing previously written by Mr. Hornung,
Although Australia plays a part in the
novel, it is a minor one, and the oiost
thrilling, scene is at the battle of Inker
man, where the hero and the villain of
tha story fight in the same company, ono
as a private, the other as an officer. Both
are captured -and confined in the earae
fortress in Sebastopol.
An important announcement is that of
the completion of a large work, "Paris,
Past and Present," by Henry Haynie, an
American who lived in France for 20
years. It is a completo and graphic ac
count of the "Capital of Europe" from
Its earliest moments up to tho present
time, with all its marvelous individuality
and wonderful beauty, never failing
through 3) centuries. Tho book will be
published in uniformity with "Naples,
Past and Present," by Arthur H. Norway,
issued last year in two profusely illus
trated and richly bound volumes.
Another young American author, Mr.
Justus Miles Forman, who has. already
made himself "known by some admlrabio
short stories. Is to bring out his first
novel next Autumn. The story, which is
called "The Garden of Lies," is a ro
mantic tale of love and adventure in
modern Paris. The action is swift and
continuous carried along by a medley
of plot and Intrigue, jealousy and idyllic
love, together with some clash of swords.
The heroine, a beautiful young American
girl, married to a prince of a reigning
Balkan house, and the hero a young Irish
man, Denis Mallory by name, ex-soldler
of fortune, and present tavern lounger.
One of the best things that John A.
Mitohell, the editor of Life, has ever writ

The. Learned . Clnrlc JTarallr.
The name of Clark, in its various forms
of Clark. Clarke. Clerk, Gierke, Clarkson
and Clarkwell. is of great antiquity, hav
ing been used in Great Brjtaln long be
fore the Norman conquest. In the Dooms
day boqk Gierke was Clerlcus, Le Clerk
Is the form in the "One Hundred Rolls,"
compiled in the reign of Edward L This
was a record of those who owned lands
In tha time of William the Conqueror,
"for which lands pome pajd money, some
sheep, some hens, and some eervioe as
soldiers." The name meant a learned
person one who could read and write
ancient and medieval lore. It was con
sidered so honorable that many changed
thejr paraos to qiark; hence its present
frequency. Tradition has it that, though
9f Anglo-Saxon extraction, the family
became connected by marrjage with the
descendants of Joseph of Arlraathe.
The Clarks were related to the noble
family of Gordons' in Scotland, tq Sir Rich
ard Saltonslall, to the artist Copley, and
many other distinguished people. It is
related of one feminine member of the
Clark family who came to this country
after her marrlagc-that "she was brought
up at a boardlng-chool, always had her at
tendants, and wore a goW watch, worn
only by persons of distinction." She used
often to compare her poor living hare with
her life In Englund, "hut she could flat
ter herself that herp she had pure wor
ship." r r
Joseph Clarke, who came oyer in 1B30 in
the "Mary and John," is the settler, or
Joseph, of the first generation. He was
thp progenitor of the American family of
Clarkes. There is a general tradition that
a Thqmas Clarke was .one 0( the officers
of the Mayflower the mate and tha first
pilgrim father to set fo6t upon "Plymouth
Rock, pr, rather, the island In Plymouth
harbor, now called Clarke, and that It
was thus named in his honor. Among
family names are Reuben, Nathaniel, Ed
gar, Hugh, Peter, David, Rebecca, Thank
ful, Mehltabel and Alice.
Origin of the Name Harris.
"Rloh Jrj household possessions" "is tho
origin of the name Harris, 'Harrison, Har
Tington. Haara is Anglo-Sapn for lard
and master; Herra in Icelandic means
king; Henry, Hehtrich -orHainrtch-eoe-t
from the same root; and as Henry has
given names to the most numerous group
of English Kings, so it has also furnished,
surnames for a vast number of families
In Great Britain trom earliest times. In
Wales the Harris family Is legion, tho
name being one of the most common, next
to Jones and Williams. In England there
are branches of the family in every town
and county. The name- is found in "A
list of 60 of the most common surnames
In England and Wales in 1S3S," in the
book, "English Surnames." About the,
same date the name Harris stands the
25th in deaths, the 25th In births and the
27th in marriages in Great Britain.
It is very probable that all early set-
I tiers of New England named. Harris were

children, Thomas Harris, was the first
settled. A William, Harris removed from

pettlers of Rowley. Essex County, Massa
chusetts, Iri the 17tti century, were four
men named Harris John. Thomas. Wll-
l Ham and Daniel.. It Is presumed that they
were brothers. Each had a two-acre
house and lot laid out to him, which shows
that they were men of property and im
portance. The oldest ferry in the United
States, that -from Boston to what Is now
Chelsea, was kept by a. Thomae Harris
in the early parfc of 1700. Another Thomas

There was a Lieutenant James Harris,
who -figured in the colonial wars. A
James Harris and his wife Sarah in the
17th century were friends of Owaneco, a
Mohegan sachem, from whom thoy had
large tracts of land on or near tho Con
necticut River. The successors of Owan
eco were also lavish in grants of land",
and James and Sarah Harris soon became
large, landholders. M.any grants and
transfers pf land are found on record;
sometimes in the name of "Sarah Harris.

CHANGES IN SMOKING.
EKort to Popularize the Pipe Proved
a Fnllarc.
Washington Star.
"While there, has been no change In the
tobacco le if itself within the past decade.
there has beep some modification in the
articles used for smoking." remarked a
tobacconist this morning.
"For instance, all efforts to popularize
the pipe In cities in tho United States to
a degree approaching English and conti
nental taste have met with failure. In
citiesr the -man with the pipe Is Justly
and universally regarded as a private
and public nuisance. He Is frowned upon,
by men and women alike, from tho land
lady or a lodging-house to the occupants
of the reir seats on an open street-car.
"Outside. of men whose manual in or
outdoor occupations make a pipe accept

others with whom they come in contact,
it is the exception that a man is seen
TiQMA& 7fJWRl&
upon the streets of Washington -and in
pther cities in good clothes with a pipe in
hi3 mouth, unless he he a student, or one
whosq affectation of English customs Is
obvious from his make-up. As a class of
wage-earners whose Incomes admit of ci
gars but who affect thepipe while at
work, especially at their desks, newspa-i
per men take the lead. In college towqs.
a plpu Is as essential to the-standlng and

the streets of New Haven, which He cjose

Important bearing. He has a pipe, and s
a man.
"In short, except in- the country and in
tho smaller towns and villages, the great
mass of American smokers are against
the pine in public, though many smokers
have their pipes at home. The American
woman, too, has set her dainty foot "firm
ly against the pipe, whether at hdme or
on the street, and women who raise no
Objection to the cigar are unswervlnpjly
agalnst the pipe. Since the smoke from a
pipe, whether blown back from the smok
er's lips into one's face In an open street
car, tho smoker of s railroad train or
elsewhere, is often nauseatingly offensive
and frequently absolutely intolerable,, it
Is pot regretted that such National aver
sion to this form qf the use of the weed
exists. Another reasdn why pipes are not
popular In cities is that the average
American has plenty of spending money
and. he Indulges his taste for cigars ac
cording to his Income, where In Europe
men in similar walks of life savo their
spare cash and smoke pipes,
"Again, in Europe nearly every smoker
hS his meerschaum, which is his especial
pride. In the United States this class of
pine Is not nearly so extensively smoked
m? In years gone by, and you wjll notice
that the briarwood pipe is almost ex
clusively displayed In the shops of tobac
conists. The American is always' In too
much of a hurry to give proper time and
attention to the smoking and the colpring
of thq raerschaum pipe, which he breaks
as easily as the European keeps his in
tact, and the wooden, corncob or clay
pipe holds almost complete supremacy.
"The cigar holder, too, has passed; as
compared wth-a decade or so ago, apd it
is the exception that one Is ued. The
best flavor of the cigar, it would appear
from what men tell me, Is not obtained
unless' the roll of the leaf Itself lies next
to the tongue and tho lips. There was, a
time when the cigarette holder was. fre
quently seen, but it is a rarity in the
present year of grace.
"Another habit, nmppg njep of what
may be called the better class, for the

into disuse, is the chewing pf tobacco,

Is agreed that men whq as.pjre to fulfill tQ
